   RE: [xml-dev] Announce: Unit Testing Framework - XSLT (UTF-X)

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

I think you mean http://utf-x.sourceforge.net/

I'm afraid that in the course of 10 minutes browsing, I wasn't able to get a
grasp of what the product does - documentation seems to assume the reader
already knows. For example I couldn't see:

* how to specify which XSLT processor to use
* how to supply stylesheet parameters
* how to specify other XSLT processor options
* how results are canonicalized before comparison
* how to handle stylesheets whose output is HTML

The system seems to require source XML documents to be included inline
within a <utfx:source> element of the test catalogue. So how do you handle
DOCTYPE declarations, entity definitions, etc? And surely the utfx namespace
will leak into the document under test, affecting the test results?
